Just be sure to double check that the lens hood mounting bayonet is
installed correctly. That seems to be a problem that sometimes slips
past QA.

Greetings and Salutations:
Well, when I sent my last reply to this conversation (which didn't go
through), my 16-50 was sitting on my front porch. The brown truck
delivered it and never rang the bell. Didn't know it was out there,
because I'd sent it for repair on 8 March. Based on all of the stories
I've read, I knew that it should be a few weeks.
Mailed it via USPS Priority on 8 March 2016; it was supposed to arrive
at Precision on 10 March. They received on Friday, 11 March. Repair
was completed on 14 March. Lens arrived home on 18 March.
EXPLANATION OF REPAIRS:
Lens and associated items repair
A complete repair and return all functions to factory specs.
Complete cleaning (Internal - External) and optical system.
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS USED:
Motor
Lens PC Board A Assy
I've tested her, and she seems to be working as she should. Let's just
hope the repair lasts longer than the original factory specs did.
Cheers,
Yonnie

Here's what I'd sent yesterday:
"I finally sent my 16-50 off for repair. It didn't fail until long
after the warranty period expired (of course). I sent it off to
Precision. I'm keeping my fingers crossed after reading some of the
posts in this thread. I'll update the list once I have her back from
the spa."

I inquired to Peachtree about the repair, and just got this message
back:
"Thank you for inquiring with us. Sorry, we do not service the Pentax
units any longer. They are serviced at Precision Camera only. Their
number is 860-272-2100."
So... I have a call into KEH to confirm that they could do the
repair... they appear to have a flat fee of $235 for zoom lens
repair...
Though I replaced the SDM motor on my DA* 50-135mm with, I believe, CRIS a
while back, I think that was approximately what I paid. Lens running like a
charm now.
Cheers, Christine
